I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

MNimize works to reduce single-use plastic at food service businesses. I will visit a participating location or tell a business I frequent about the resources available to them.

I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.

I will cut down the miles I drive to reduce microplastic shedding from tires. Alternatives include riding public transit, walking, biking, carpooling and combining trips.
